In the most round about way of all time
>The Black Fin allows Vita and Vita Slim Wifi and 3G users to share their Vita games over the internet.
The Cobra Black Fin Emulator card stores game ISO's on Micro SD and the Black Fin Card is then inserted into the Vita/Vita Slim console
When connected to the Black Fin servers authentication of the Vita game is performed by matching the ISO on your Micro SD card to the same original game running on a peers' Black Fin reader connected to his PC and the Black Fin servers or friends' servers.
For retards, You must connect your vita with the flashcart in it with the game's iso to your PC and be in a P2P network where somebody is hosting the game to authenticate your iso

that sounds retarded
>>319351638
Any official page?

Sorry, Lapse of memory, Forgot to post the source

Will be cool once you can just force it to auth somehow.
As is this is just a way to lend games to people over distance.
So basically I have to stream the game from someone?

More like a tethered pirating. You'll have to authenticate your iso and it stays authenticated until you reboot your vita
>>319351638
This looks really over complicated and requires somebody to have a real copy to authenticate which means it'll be useless for 99% of imports.
>literally fucking nothing
It's not really piracy.
Someone out there somewhere actually owns the game and is "hosting" it so others can use it when they aren't.
Worst case scenario is no one buys into it and it literally does not work as intended because no one can serve up the licenses.
Best case scenario it's a buy-in-required "private tracker" style device that sort of works on older titles but nothing new.
Regardless, it's shit.
Not to mention it might also end up requiring literal exact copies of ISO's to work properly, which means no trimming which is almost always done in some form.
Honestly I'm impressed at how air-tight Sony has kept the Vita security
>>319354551
it's more hackers are too afraid to release shit
partially lawsuits, partially not wanting to kill it further. Paid "solutions" like this will just cause reason for free ones, just like on the 3ds
It's not worth pirating vita games when their prices routinely hit $10/game
3ds on the other hand...

I'm literally keking so hard. Vita can't do ANYTHING right

The paid guys want to sell games for $5 in some shady marketplace. They usually take the work of the enthusiasts, which I remember something like this being shown before where they could copy the cart and as long as it stayed on the thing would work.
>>319351638
Atleast is something.
>Online piracy
Well, at least we can dump games with it.
